A fire during an earthquake can start when gas lines rupture, leading to leaks that may ignite from sparks or flames from damaged electrical equipment. Additionally, falling debris can break electrical wires, creating sparks that can also ignite nearby flammable materials. The chaos of the earthquake can hinder response efforts, allowing fires to spread rapidly. Finally, the shaking may cause accidents with open flames, such as candles or stoves, further increasing the risk.

What is the cause of fire during earthquake?
There is no direct causal connection between having an earthquake and the start of a fire. However, the earthquake might destroy things (electricity cables, buildings, etc.) which when destroyed can cause fire. For example, an oil leak could be caused by the earthquake and with a spark of an electricity cable this could cause a fire. Hope this answers your question.
